Which one is not a branch of physical sciences ?

Correct answer: D. Biology

  • A. Chemistry

Biology is a life science because it studies living organisms, whereas chemistry, astronomy and geology are traditionally grouped among the physical or Earth-related sciences. The likely mistake is choosing geology because it studies the Earth, although geology is generally included with the physical sciences in elementary classifications.

About Quantum Theory and Radiation

Quantum theory treats electromagnetic radiation as packets of energy called photons, with energy proportional to frequency through E equals hf. The topic covers Planck's hypothesis, photon momentum, the photoelectric effect, threshold frequency, work function and wave particle duality, distinguishing quantised energy exchange from classical continuous radiation.
